Operating the Control Panel
Use the Power button to turn the portable dehumidifier on and
off. The LED indicator next to “Power” will light up. By default when
you first use the power button, the unit will begin to operate in
normal fan speed mode.
Note: If the unit was powered off, wait at least 3 minutes before
powering it back on.
Auto-Restart: If power to the unit is interrupted, the dehumidifier
will restart itself in with the last used mode/settings once the power
is restored. The compressor will restart after 3 minutes.
Auto-Shut Off: The unit will shut off when the set humidity has
been reached, or when the water bucket is full, has been removed,
or is not in its proper position.
Continuous mode dehumidifies the air until the water bucket is full.
Use the continuous mode for maximum dehumidification. You will
not be able to use the set humidity buttons.
To operate the unit in continuous mode:
1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet.
2) Press the Power button.
3) Press the Continuous button. The LED indicator next to
“Continuous” will light up.
4) Select the fan speed by using the Normal or High
button.
The dehumidifier has two fan speeds. Use the high fan speed for
maximum moisture removal. Use the normal fan speed for quieter
operation.
Select the fan speed by using the Normal or High button.
The desired humidity level can be set within a range of 35%
Relative Humidity (RH) to 80% RH in 5% increments.
To set the desired humidity level percentage:
1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet.
2) Press the Power button. Make sure the continuous light is
turned off.
3) Press the Increase and Decrease buttons to set the
desired humidity level. After a few seconds, the LCD display will
revert to the actual room humidity level with ±5% accuracy. For
drier air use the Decrease button.
